What Is The Remedy For Itchiness On Inner Thigh?

I recently shaved my inner thighs and went swimming. It became itchy, a few days later it was red and burning slightly and still itchy. The day after that it began to smell. I am wondering what this is and if it can be treated topically without steroids as I am 4 months pregnant.
